The Creation of the Ultimate Human Machine
by Rob Macdonald/ 'no one'
pg 2
What is AT4?
AT4 is an acronym for a system of training designed to take you from your present state of functioning and create in yourself the ability to be better. to be a better more resilient more highly functioning machine.
doesnt that sound appealing? of course it does. who wouldnt want to create more tissue, repair faster, become more efficient or increase ones ability to handle work loads? thats why we do this. well then, why arent we all the machines that we strive to be. the answer is simple. we dont train enough. we dont push enough. we dont break down barriers in our thinking, in our belief systems, in our own bodies ability to 'do work'.
if your reading this, chances are you have read the 'galineko/ no one method'- a system of eating designed to drop fat off you more quickly than any method of fat loss today, and have you maintain that weight loss into perpetuity using the concepts we outlined in the book. when i co wrote that book i came across so much opposition that it was almost bordering on hatred simply because that book attacked the 'norms' in dieting. in that book we advanced that you could gain tissue in a deficit. you could have unlimited energy in a severe deficit. that you could feel great in a severe deficit, all the while losing fat more quickly than any other diet out there. i spent more time defensing my position from people who had never tried it, than i did answering questions from people who wanted to try it.
so, dear reader, if you do decide to turn this page, and trust me one more time, be warned your old ways of thinking are going to be screaming 'its IMPOSSIBLE!' . and im ok with that. cause quite frankly, what i propose SOUNDS impossible. but before you get out the rope, and get ready to string me up for preaching my heresy, apply what i am telling you, and reap the benefits and create in yourself your own human machine.

Of Doug White, Montgomery Paisley, and Las Vegas Boulevard.
how did i come up with AT4? it was quite by accident i suppose. i think subconsciously i had been creating it for years in my head, based on two distinct memories from my past, but i think i finally consciously allowed myself to believe it was possible as i was walking down Las Vegas Boulevard this summer during the saturday morning of memorial day weekend.
i had just left the gym a shambles, and was walking back to the hotel at 9am. i felt great. my training was on point. i had become very, very efficient in the gym. i had been training with no rest between sets for over 2 years now, and now i can handle training loads without resting between sets for the entirety of my session. a small thing, but having trained my body to accomplish this kind of resiliency i take pride in it. i might not be the strongest guy in the gym, but i am the handsomest, and i doubt many could hang with the tempo of my workout.
as i walked i thought to myself, 'what am i going to train tomorrow?'. you see, i train my whole body every 48 hours, and i had just smashed my back, chest, arms and shoulders all in the same session. since i use cycling alone for my leg training that meant i wouldnt be able to train my upper body again tomorrow, because i had just smashed it today, right? of course, thats what we are programmed to think. and its this stop gap in our thinking that has been preventing us all from achieving our best. but i digress.
as i pondered this conundrum of just what the hell i was going to train tomorrow now, doug white came to mind. it was odd, having just left the gym, thinking about my workout, to have a friend from my childhood just magically pop himself into my train of thought. but like i said, the subconscious works in strange ways.
doug was a guy i had gone to highschool with. he lived on a farm, and was as handy as pockets on a shirt. he wasnt going to be a doctor or a lawyer. he was going to work with his hands and found employment as a roofer out of school, on his way to becoming a carpenter. the thing i remember most about doug when i think of him was the size of his forearms. he was such a little guy- might have been 5'8 and 160 but his forearms from roofing and swinging a hammer all day were massive. odd, right? the guy never trained with weights. never counted grams of protein. never trained for hypertrophy, but he had the biggest forearms i had ever seen. from using them all day. every single day.
then i thought of monte paisley. if you google monte paisley you'll see that he was a former JTF special ops kinda guy who for some reason got his wires crossed, and got himself into some trouble with the CDN military. it was in the media, he had deserted and the whole country was looking for him. he was a pretty specially trained guy. and he was in my mind the ultimate human machine. and example of what the body could do- but not me, right? no, i could never be monte, cause i didnt have the 'genetics'.
you see, monte, was to me, as a 22 year old skinny kid who had just started training, the ultimate dude. the guy looked like a california beach boy. but a jacked to fuck california beach boy. like probably the best physique i have seen to this day in real life. dense quality tissue. well proportioned. the guy just looked godly.
and he was a cardio machine. 'what did you get up to this weekend?' i said to him one monday when i saw him at the gym on the stationary bike where pools of sweat had gathered underneath the pedals he effortlessly pushed for hours on end. hes like 'well i decided to go buy a jeep. so i got on my bike and rode into pembroke to see what they had. wasnt impressed so i rode out to eganville to look but theres no jeep dealer there, so i went to renfrew, found one i like, bought it, and it wasnt going to be plated till today, so i rode home thru beachburg, and stopped for chinese food at that little restaurant, before i headed back to pet(awawa)'.
ever had a moment in your life when you catch yourself with your jaw open. this was one of those moments. monte had just told me he cycled 190 km to 'buy a jeep' and here he was on the stationary bike the next day. the guy was a fucking machine.
and so it was doug white and monte paisley came into my head as i walked down LVBD after my gym session wonder wtf am i going to train tomorrow.
and monte, if for some strange reason your reading this, get at me. id love to shake your hand and buy you a beer. and thank you for making me realise your only limit is the limit you put on yourself.
